1) Ground STI connector. Connect DVOM positive lead to SML terminal the self-test connector and negative lead to ground. See Figure .

2) Note output of the analog volt/ohmmeter as each switch is actuated. Record all tests results and proceed to SWITCH MONITOR TEST .

NOTE: DO NOT depress throttle, clutch or engage transmission, unless directed.
